Landscape Uses and Maintenance of Apple Fruit Trees
Apple Fruit Trees 3-4' are deciduous fruit trees that are a great investment for your property. These trees are simply a must have for any gardener trying to live a more sustainable life! Apple Trees get small white, pink, or red flowers that bloom in the spring.
Water thoroughly until well established; then let Mother Nature water. Plant in well draining soil. Do not plant in waterlogged or compacted soil.
As with many fruit trees, this tree needs care and maintenance. Be ready to tend to this tree and give it plenty of attention.
Plant your new tree in full sun. A full sun location is that which gets 8 hours of sunlight per day. In addition to ensuring that the tree is getting enough light, a full sun location will help make sure that your trees will dry out after morning dew, in turn decreasing the chance of fungal issues.
Fertilize in early spring with a balanced formula. Do not fertilize after the midpoint of summer. Add a layer of compost, humus, or leaf mold around the base of the tree, making sure to stay away from the trunk. Do not create a volcano around your tree!
Watch your trees for signs of disease or pests and treat quickly. Choosing varieties that are resistant to the issues is always a good idea to maintain orchard health.
Flowers will attract pollinators like bees.

How to Grow and Care for Fruit Trees
Fruit trees are a rewarding addition to any landscape, offering fragrant blossoms in spring and fresh, homegrown harvests in summer or fall. Popular varieties like apple, peach, pear, and plum thrive in full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Choose trees suited to your USDA zone, and plant in early spring or fall for the best root development.
Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and deep enough so the root flare sits just above the soil line. Backfill with native soil, water deeply, and apply mulch around the base—keeping it a few inches from the trunk—to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly during the first growing season, especially during dry spells.
Prune annually to shape the tree, improve air circulation, and boost fruit production. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced or fruit-specific fertilizer. With proper planting, seasonal care, and a little patience, fruit trees will reward you with beauty, shade, and bountiful harvests year after year.
